Elliott Bay Public House & Brewery

It’s great when I go in person but I got a pickup order this time and ordered 3 fish pieces and two came fried together, I had to pull apart and it ripped the breading off and exposed some unfinished batter. Not pleasant to taste but I’m not a person of waste so I’ll just throw it in the oven I guess. Not as convenient as I was hoping for after a long day at work. Picked it up very soon after it was scheduled ready as well and I live close so it was at least very fresh when I got home. But do regret paying $22 for this. Order number #110 Online

The lobbying against minimum wage from the owner is a HUGE bummer. Especially with how hard they work the staff. The food is SUPER mid. Can tell the cooks and chef have lost all their love and passion when it comes to food. Beer is some of the worst I had the displeasure of assaulting my mouth. owner likes to talk back and get critical when it comes to constructive criticism. It's far from what I would consider to be a local business with how corporate it feels all that being said. It's gonna be a no for me. Whole places smells like old folks and stale beer.

I met my family here today as a tradition. They come from Seattle and I come from Everett. I arrived about 20 mins before them sat and waited. I was asked a couple of times if I wanted a drink while I wait but I was good. There was a Kids birthday party going in a room and most seemed to have their food already. Once my siblings got there a different waiter came up after a long wait and said he could get us drinks but no food! The kitchen couldn't keep up with orders there was too many people. WHAT? We asked when they might be able to order our food, the server (if you can call him that) said I don't know maybe 20 mins he said you can sit here and get buzzed? We said we would order 2 coffee, 1 tea and 1 water. My brother then asked if we could put in our orders so that when they were accepting order again our orders would be in. He said no and it might take more than 20 mins so if we were anxious about the time maybe we could go somewhere else????? After a wait again he brought the drinks 1 at a time when he got to the water he said oh you wanted a water by that time my sister law was upset and said never mind. New people were showing up to the party and they were in taking their orders??? THIS PLACE WAS NO WHERE NEAR FULL. Anyway he came by again and I made a comment about him not bringing water and he blew up screaming she said she didn't want one, then walked away. The people sitting next to us saw and heard this and they were so amazed they were apologizing for them. It was Horrible experience and we were not rude or anything. WE walked out and We will NEVER got back..

I had a questionable visit. Came in with a party of 5 when they were fairly empty, and we were seated in the back. Not really a problem, initially, but it seemed like they were not seating anyone else in our section when it was starting to get busy. I don't usually accuse people of racism, but our race seemed to be the only differentiator between the other parties in the busy section vs our table. Additionally, when our drinks were empty, they only offered a refill to the only member that was caucasian. Probably won't go again.

TL:DR | 4/10 - Overall while decent the knowledge that the owners lobby to lower minimum wage for the food service is enough to sour the experience.

Most of the food has a slight German bent which feels wrong to do with certain dishes. There is a great selection of beers and the space is wide open and well lit. It would be worth a trip if not for the above. This town has enough breweries to exercise your morals and miss this place.

Parking: Parking for the building is behind the street interest and accessible via the parallel street to the west.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is ground level with ADA compliant access.

We ordered nachos and the chips were stale and the toppings were mediocre at best.

Don't get their margaritas. They are tiny and there was barely any tequila for something that costs $12.

There was a cold draft inside the restaurant and it was hard to eat and be comfortable.

I've literally had every beer, and they are all good -- some excellent. Atmosphere is friendly and casual.

I have previously enjoyed this locally owned spot, but won't be coming back after the owner tried to pay their employees below minimum wage. Servers and staff deserve better than that. The atmosphere is destroyed for me.

I thought Elliott Bay was solid until I had a baby. Now I think it’s ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC because it’s the only family-friendly pub experience with good local beer anywhere nearby. Plenty of seating in a clean, open space. A few TVs to watch a game. And tasty fries!

Seats were disgusting. Food crammed inside of the crevasses and I felt dirty being in there. But the server I had was phenomenal. Wish he got better pay

Use to live in Seattle, still visit for work. The salmon chipotle salad is still amazing! Staff is always friendly & beer is yummy too! Goes well with the Discus Pale Ale!
